Support for Thermostats #3

Closed coeing closed 4 years ago

coeing commented 4 years ago

As I have two at home, I'd like to add a handler for them to the binding.

The Bosch API can be found here: https://apidocs.bosch-smarthome.com/local/index.html (Select a definition: Thermostat)

As the official API doesn't have endpoints to change the state of the device, the first version of the handler will contain:

Providing the temperature measured at the device
Providing the valve tappet position of the device

I will also open an issue in the official Bosch API repository https://github.com/BoschSmartHome/bosch-shc-api-docs to ask for the current state of the Thermostat API. Maybe there are more functions which are not documented yet or they are coming soon. As the devices can be controlled by other apps, chances are that they have all the functionality already.

@stefan-kaestle If you like you can set me as the Assignee already, I will start with the issue soon :)

Much appreciated, happy to have you helping with the binding :-)

Right now I am adding the valve tappet position channel to the thermostat. I also created an issue about the possibility to set the desired temperature at a thermostat via the API: https://github.com/BoschSmartHome/bosch-shc-api-docs/issues/35

TODOS:

[x] Valve Tappet Position channel
[x] Handle processUpdate method in a generic way be registering services on initialization of a handler
[x] Only update service state which contains channel to refresh (right now all services are fetched when a RefreshType command arrives)

Just received an answer about setting the desired temperature for a room. It is controlled via virtual RoomClimateControl devices (https://github.com/BoschSmartHome/bosch-shc-api-docs/issues/35).

I will add a separate handler for those although they are no real things. But they are indeed separate from specific thermostats because you can have one RoomClimateControl controlling multiple thermostats in a room.

Pull request is merged, the new Thermostat binding is available :)
